TURBO (TURBO) Plunge

IOSG Research analyzes the on-chain yield landscape, highlighting the growing preference for yield-bearing stablecoins and fixed-income products during bear markets. While bull markets drive TVL growth across all yield products, bear markets see capital shift toward lower-risk, stablecoin-based options. Key trends include protocols expanding into front-end (wallets, mobile interfaces) and back-end services (stablecoin-as-a-service for L1/L2 chains). Anticipated U.S. interest rate cuts may reduce Treasury yields, pushing yield-bearing stablecoins to diversify into alternative real-world assets (RWA) like private credit and GPU financing. The report also notes institutional adoption through end-to-end staking services and crypto-native credit products (e.g., preferred shares), which function as crypto equivalents to Treasury bonds, offering stable yields from DeFi and staking revenues. Exclusive yield sources and transparent revenue-sharing models are becoming crucial differentiators.
